I need to vent before I have a panic attack
So, while I usually get pretty good grades in grad school there are times where I don't. Normally this doesn't effect me because I am able to compensate with my other grades. My GPA is great, class grades are great but I'm struggling.
My practicum class (the one where we practice giving the tests) is really hard. I have not been able to pass the statistics exam (I pass it but they want a 80). I got a 78 the first time and a 72 the second time. The second version was harder and shorter.
We meet once a month up at campus ( an hour away). Well, our meeting is this Saturday which means I have a test. We take tests over the IQ tests we give and also our textbook. The last time, I literally had an all out panic attack before the test. I had to escape to the bathroom to collect myself for about 20 minutes.
My self confidence is blown. I feel stupid and I know I'm not and I know I shouldn't but I do. So, because I can't pass the stats test I figured I would end up having to drop the class. My professor last semester would have had no mercy and told me to do just that. My professor this semester has a heart. She's not going to test me anymore but give me some short answer questions. Well, that's great.
Except, I emailed her tonight about (Wednesday) and she tells me she is going to give them to me on Saturday. So, now I have to study for both tests. I've been crying for half an hour over this now.
I'm insanely busy at work with 11 meetings this week. My para has been out sick. I've got a kid being sent to alternative education for 30 days which means another meeting for me but it also means I'm going to end up arguing because I don't think he should be going (that's another story).
So, my stress level is through the roof. I have assignment after assignment due. I can't take off work to get any of it done. I need lots of t's and p's please.
Sorry this is so long.....

I can only imagine how you are feeling, I would feel the same way. You will do great. I know you will, you are such a hard worker, and the feeling you'll have when it is all said and done - think of that. There is a light at the end of the tunnel- even you said so a few days ago!!!
FWIW, stats is SUPER hard. I did the opposite of stellar when I took it. Ick. I do not envy you...but like I said, you will do great.
